Unless you have been living under a rock for the last few days, the chances are you have heard of Kagiso Rabada’s unplayable yorker to David Malan. The video of the yorker went viral on the internet and people just could not stop talking about it.

The reason for that is pretty simple — Rabada’s yorker was the perfect picture of fast bowling in a cricketing world that has now come to be dominated by batsmen. Even in a Test which has witnessed some special bowling performances, Rabada’s yorker could easily be the ball of the match.

Bowling from over the wicket to the left-handed Malan, the ball swung in late viciously and left Malan falling over as it shattered his stumps. It was visceral with raw pace and late swing against which the very best in business would have also struggled.

This was not the first time that Rabada had bowled such a perfect yorker. In fact, the fast, full yorker that swings in late is a potent weapon that Rabada has often used to dismiss many a batsmen.

This is precisely what makes him so dangerous and perhaps the best young fast bowler, who has now beautifully stepped up to fill the shoes of the long absent Dale Steyn.
